The redbuds are blooming! They are the first of the spectacular flowering trees to achieve their full glory in our area. I also saw a few star magnolias in bloom, but they can't quite compare to the showy redbud. My in-laws had one in their front yard that always made a lovely backdrop for Easter day pictures. Our friends on Southview had perhaps the prettiest one in the Cape until a storm took it down a year or two ago - ouch. Forsythia should be next up, bursting into yellow flames in the next few days. I saw some already popping over the weekend along with some flowering quince, I believe (looks kind of like forsythia but with fruit punch colored flowers?). It's going to start getting colorful around here!
